What page are the Sat #s in?

What page are the Sat #s in?

 

Rth gave a 22.5-24m range for Dawn. Don't think there are #s for other films.

Speaking of anal hair...I had a "friend" who was a total asshole (no pun intended). He'd constantly make homophobic remarks to and about me, yet he would always talk about his grooming of his nether regions. He'd seriously be like "Well, you take it up the ass, so you must shave...tell me how you do it, cause I don't wanna have to start braiding my hair down there". I was amazed by his stupidity and wanted to kick his ass, but he was twice my size, and all muscle.

Your “friend” sounds like a self-hating closet case.

Thanks, a2k!

Anal hairs?...Dafuq I walk in on? You guys never fail.

[AndyLL]

That's what makes it so great.And do you not like time travel in movies or just POA

 

I love time travel movies and have requested suggestions for good ones before.

 

However in POA it's a device to make the plot work for just this book.

 

Where is it in the rest of the series when it also could be useful?

There are some good choices but they made a big omission I would have included the court room scene from JFK

Fair enough

[MrPink]

Seeing General Zod in Pearl Harbor and Bad Boys II freaks me out.

POA

HBP

DH2

OOTP

DH1

COS

PS

GOF

 

GOF was so bad, I don't know why some people prefer it.

[Darth Homer]

Chamber of Secretes is the best, Half-blood prince is the worst.

And we have a winner!

 

I don't know how anyone can prefer Yate's movies (aside from the admittedly great DH2) to Columbus's. HBP is particulary bad. The big revelation of the book is completely thrown away as a "who cares" moment ("Oh, by the way, I'm the Half-Blood Prince! You know, that character we briefly mentioned an hour ago in between all the snogging?"). Pathetic. Compare that with COS, where the reveal of who Tom Riddle is is superbly done.

 

POA and COS are about even for me, with COS being more faithful to the book but POA adding things that actually improve on the book, such as Snape protecting the kids from Were-Lupin and the whole gay allegory of Lupin having to quit because parents don't want "someone like me" teaching their kids.

 

Back on topic, glad to see Apes doing well, especially coming out two weeks after a movie where plot and character development took a three hour vacation.

Giving Apes 23.5 Saturday, it needs a 20% drop to touch 70m. Its gonna be close, 20% its plausible in mid July, but the WC final may affect it. I guess they will estimate 70m and will fall to 69m with actuals, ala Lego and Maleficent...

[Rthmessiah]

From what roughly thought earlierApes 22.5-24

hmm might have to make 24m low end...anyway i'll take a look at it and others films soon

As an actual movie though, HBP was among the best. The cinematography in it alone should give it hefty bonus points.

The low end that could be good

[Rthmessiah]

 

And Spatula is not the devil. He is the less-evil Loki to Rth's Thor. And since they both enjoy the company of other men...the TRUE destiny of Thor and Loki can be accomplished.

LOL...disruption to the NYC power grid

Yeah, OOTP and HBP both looked great. I just thought they were piss-poor adaptations of the books.
